You are correct as long as your device "laptop/handheld computer" syncs web pages for you to look at them later, off line. Since I don't think they are talking about live streaming. Of course I haven't looked too closely at the patent either. Maybe they cover that too.
Yea it took two years, but these where internet connections. Most companies where not thinking about connecting there computers to the outside world unless they where doing some research or involved with networking in some way. There was not let's put out our "Marketing message on the Internet", most of it was he we where working with this in School and we could use this technology to share information or for sending email.
> In my country (Czech republic) we have law, that every ISP have to save its logs (including assigning IP) for at least 6 months.
So what logs are you talking about? Do they save every packet that comes to and from you IP address? Or do they just save DHCP data with the MAC Address? And there are some NICs that allow you to change or set your MAC address so even that can be hard to prove it came from your computer?
It is a parallel plate capacitor with barium titanate as the dielectric.
It claims that it can make a battery at half the cost per kilowatt-hour and one-tenth the weight of lead-acid batteries.
As of last year selling price would start at $3,200 and fall to $2,100 in high-volume production
The product weighs 400 pounds and delivers 52 kilowatt-hours.
The batteries fully charge in minutes as opposed to hours.
The EEStor technology has been tested up to a million cycles with no material degradation compared to lead acid batteries that optimistically have 500 to 700 recharge cycles,
Because it's a solid state battery rather than a chemical battery, such being the case for lithium ion technology, there would be no overheating and thus safety concerns with using it in a vehicle.
With volume manufacturing it's expected to be cost-competitive with lead-acid technology.
As of last year, EEStor planned to build its own assembly line to prove the battery can work and then license the technology to manufacturers for volume production
EEStor's technology could be used in more than low-speed electric vehicles. The company envisions using it for full-speed pure electric vehicles, hybrid-electrics (including plug-ins), military applications, backup power and even large-scale utility storage for intermittent renewable power sources such as wind and solar.
They have an exclusive agreement with Feel Good Cars, a Canadian manufacturer of the ZENN, a low speed electric car, to to purchase high-power-density ceramic ultra capacitors called Electrical Storage Units (ESU). FGC's exclusive worldwide right is for all personal transportation uses under 15 KW drive systems (equivalent to 100 peak horse power) and for vehicles with a curb weight of under 1200 kilograms not including batteries.
Well on the 501/508 you can change it to ask before updating, and I didn't think that included the encryption keys. From what I had read, now that might be wrong, the updates where just for software updates and encryption keys where handled differently.
I think you should use sudo, besides cutting down on the "oops I typed that command as root" mistakes. It also logs all commands run as root. Well when you run sudo . Even if you don't look at the logs that much. It will give you a record on who fixed what and when. Just incase something does go wong.
Well seeing that Bill met Melinda in 1987 I think that it would have to be more like 20 years. And in the same year they got married, 1994 they set up the Bill and Melinda Foundation. So I still think she has had a big influence on him.
Now he might have had some idea that he wanted to give his money away before. However I think she has influenced him more that way.
Before Bill married Melinda I don't think he really though much about the world around him. Not to say that she hasn't changed him and now he does. But I think it more her and he just gets behind what she brings up.
Well if it is so horrible why does it have such a high rating. I don't think the anonymous Coward gets the humor. The stuff that comes out of Karl, one of Ricky's friends, is unbelievable.
Too bad it seems that Ricky is only going to do 12 podcasts.
It seems that someone has to say that the video iPod will be the down fall of Apple/Steve Jobs. However Phillip Swann, http://www.tvpredictions.com/ipod101105.html, logic: The video iPod was born from arrogance. Apple has been so successful with the audio iPod that it thinks it can't go wrong. But it will this time. This is an example of a technology that is being launched only because it can be, not because anybody wants it.
This sort of sounds like the old story of IBM saying since there is no one using Coping machine in the business place there is no need for one. And telling a small company, Xerox, that they where not intrested in their new product.
Just because no one else it doing it does not mean it should not be done...
Re:Linux And The BSDs

Why FreeBSD

Yes but there is the licenses issue. BSD style licenses vs the GPL.
At least for companies to use the OS with there products.
Now the licenses issue is not going to concern me if all I am doing is setting up a machine to run at home. And I think it comes down to what you are use to. I have been mostly a old Sun Admin and I like FreeBSD over Linux, although I do like the rc start up scripts of Linux over FreeBSD.
And it did make the move to OS X easier coming from FreeBSD. However I am not sure I will ever get use to the changes in the startup files that Apple has introduced. Maybe some day.
...iTunes since she keeps bumping into the 5 computer limit, between her hardware upgrades/repairs and sharing with me.
Yea I would have to agree that the 5 computer limit is the one area that I think Apple should improve on. We run into this at our house we have 4 people and 6 Mac in the house. So either I can share my music with one of the computers and I also share my music with my other computer at work. Of course this not Apple as much as what they had to work with in getting the content providers to agree to let them sell online music.
Yes but I think since you dropped all those acronyms it would put you in the Uber column.
My brother who just got an iPod shuffle is an Electrical engineer and he would have no idea what OGG Vorbis is or why he would want to encode to FLAC. All he wants is something he can put songs on to so he can play music when he works out. So I think there is just a small minority that just likes to complain that they can't do everything with the music. Besides what is stopping you from burning the music to CD and the ripping it back into your computer with out DRM. Yea Yea it is a few more steps but not impossible.
Not like what the video content providers what to do with the Broadcast flag where you will not be able to record a show at all. Or maybe just record it for a set period of time. Now that's worth complaining about. Or DRM that is worked into the OS where as you need a DRM monitor to watch HighDef video. That I will complain about!
If you look at the time line on the right side of the article page. It was just a little over a year ago that iTMS sold it's 100 Million song and now they are at half a Billion, 400 Million songs in just one year. I think that's amazing.
I know Uber users complain about the DRM but I can tell you that most people, just don't care. They have their songs they can burn them to CD put them on their iPods. That's about all most people want to do.
Suppose Microsoft wanted to come up with a way to get the bad guys to avoid attacking Microsoft. Maybe they could spread the word that a significant range of IP space is honeypots and honeymonkeys and lions and tigers and bears, so then all the kiddies go off and attack someone else.
You are giving someone too much credit, but I am not sure which one.
I will agree that my parents did just fine w/o mobile phones but then people did just fine w/o phones in general. It more conveannet to have these comunications devices. Just like my wife and I keep in touch durning the day with IM. We could use the phone or not talk at all, but keeps us in touch with each other's day and what going on.
And we do agree to meet at place beforehand but plans change and when you are easly reachable plans can change quicker:)
Maybe our fast/heatic life stile is a product of our accesablity but where do you draw the line.
Well you definitely don't have kids and trying to get one boy to hockey practice and the other to Lacrosse practice for the other. Will the first one forgot and put his Lax equipment in your car. Then getting dinner in between that and a meeting you have to be at that night.. I don't know what I would do with out my mobile phone.
But I guess we could not be as busy as we are, but what fun would that be.:)
...Apple demonstrate history of using cat words, of which Tiger is merely one in a line.
Yea and next year when 10.5 comes out we will forget all about Tiger and it will be some other cat. And TigerDirect will still be there. Unless what I have read about how bad they have gotten and maybe they will be out of business by then.
I think this is the same idea that Apple will have in 10.4, smart folders. Basically you tell the folder what type of data that should be in the folder. Say anything that has meta data for "hockey" in it and the OS/GUI will go and put "links" to that data in that one folder.
Very cool idea and I can't wait to she how it works tomorrow.:)
